Coronavirus Pandemic causes album sales drop

International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) 2020 winners revealed

International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) winners were announced online, as the Winter Music Conference in Miami had been canceled due to the Coronavirus.

Vasja Veber co-founder explains:

“Music awards are often criticized for being biased. Sometimes you can play the system and pay for votes. The IDMA nominee selection does not work like that. We use data from big networks (streaming services, social networks, ticket vendors etc.) to see who really deserves a nomination, and in my opinion, these numbers reflect the actual popularity of an artist in the most unbiased way possible. Working on their fan interaction should be every artist’s main promotional focus, and not just the winners, but also the nominees master this art.”
